Clothes, or specifically, the Merchant outfit. Toughness rank 2, plus the NEMEAN armor implant from the clinic, and wearing an Old Cowboy Hat, with sunglasses. (Don't you steal my style, mang!) I get to look cool and act tough. I literally wearing this have seen Fiends shoot and hit spot on, and not even take a single point of damage (On Hard mode, nonetheless.) I'm so glad New Vegas allows you to stack like this, so that you're not forced (such as in say, The Elder Scrolls) games to wear armor just to survive difficult encounters! :disguise:
